A convergent algorithm for solving linear programs with an additional reverse convex constraint

چکیده

An inequality g{x) 2i 0 is often said to be a reverse convex constraint if the function g is continuous and convex. The feasible regions for linear program with an additional reverse convex constraint are generally non-convex and disconnected. In this paper a convergent algorithm for solving such a linear problem is proposed. The method is based upon a combination of the branch and bound procedure with the linearization of the reverse convex constraint by using the cutting-plane technique.

A Conical Branch-and-Bound Algorithm for a Class of Reverse Convex Programs

The purpose of this paper is to construct a conical branch-and-bound algorithm for solving linear programming problems with an additional reverse convex constraint. We propose an inexpensive bound-tightening procedure, which is based on the surrogate relaxation. We show that this procedure considerably tightens lower bounds yielded by the usual linear programming relaxation. We also report nume...

A Parametric Successive Underestimation Method for Convex Programming Problems with an Additional Convex Multiplicative Constraint

A bstract This paper addresses itself to an algorithm for a convex minimization problem with an additional convex multiplicative constraint. A convex multiplicative constraint is such that a product of two convex functions is less than or equal to some constant. It is shown that this non convex problem can be solved by solving a sequence of convex programming problems. The basic idea of this al...

Solving a bi-objective mathematical model for location-routing problem with time windows in multi-echelon reverse logistics using metaheuristic procedure

During the last decade, the stringent pressures from environmental and social requirements have spurred an interest in designing a reverse logistics (RL) network. The success of a logistics system may depend on the decisions of the facilities locations and vehicle routings. The location-routing problem (LRP) simultaneously locates the facilities and designs the travel routes for vehicles among ...

Computational experience using an edge search algorithm for linear reverse convex programs

This paper presents computational experience with a rather straight forward implementation of an edge search algorithm for obtaining the globally optimal solution for linear programs with an additional reverse convex constraint. The paper’s purpose is to provide a collection of problems, with known optimal solutions, and performance information for an edge search implementation so that research...

On solving simple bilevel programs with a nonconvex lower level program

In this paper, we consider a simple bilevel program where the lower level program is a nonconvex minimization problem with a convex set constraint and the upper level program has a convex set constraint. By using the value function of the lower level program, we reformulate the bilevel program as a single level optimization problem with a nonsmooth inequality constraint and a convex set constra...
